As per attached is my latest results....please help if u can....

From the past kernel mailing list I found more patches to rectify the any-any codes:

From below here:   iget and read_inode have been removed from the kernel, and it also showed how to replaced it:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/25/263
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2007-10/msg00215.html

After the change, here is the output of compilation (starting from runme.pl, and remember to compile after booting up into the new kernel - 2.6.25 in my case here, as the any-any patch will autodetect this - different color demarcate the different zones of compilation):

/root/download/vmware/vmware-any-any-update117/vmware-any-any-update115>./runme.pl
Updating /usr/bin/vmware ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/bin/vmnet-bridge ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
Updating /usr/lib/vmware/bin-debug/vmware-vmx ... No patch needed/available
VMware modules in "/usr/lib/vmware/modules/source" has been updated.

Before running VMware for the first time after update, you need to configure it
for your running kernel by invoking the following command:
"/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl". Do you want this script to invoke the command for
you now? [yes] 

Making sure services for VMware Workstation are stopped.

Stopping VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [  OK  ]
   Blocking file system:                                   [  OK  ]
   Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0                       [  OK  ]
   Host network detection                                  [  OK  ]
   DHCP server on /dev/vmnet1                              [  OK  ]
   Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet1                     [  OK  ]
   DHCP server on /dev/vmnet8                              [  OK  ]
   NAT service on /dev/vmnet8                              [  OK  ]
   Host-only networking on /dev/vmnet8                     [  OK  ]
   Virtual ethernet                                        [  OK  ]

Configuring fallback GTK+ 2.4 libraries.

In which directory do you want to install the theme icons?
[/usr/share/icons]

What directory contains your desktop menu entry files? These files have a
.desktop file extension. [/usr/share/applications]

In which directory do you want to install the application's icon?
[/usr/share/pixmaps]

Trying to find a suitable vmmon module for your running kernel.

None of the pre-built vmmon modules for VMware Workstation is suitable for your
running kernel.  Do you want this program to try to build the vmmon module for
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)? [yes]

Using compiler "/usr/bin/gcc". Use environment variable CC to override.

What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.25/build/include]

This program previously created the file /dev/vmmon, and was about to remove
it.  Somebody else apparently did it already.
